At the Stade de France,
His analysis of the match
“We were below what I expected.
Generosity, commitment, duel… Opposite, they put what was needed, we not enough.
We take avoidable goals and then after, we gave confidence to the opponent, we had the ball but without creating a gap.
In the content, in the second half, it was better, but with a handicap like that, it is difficult.
The high level is a booster shot, luckily that's how it is.
We took a good slap, I'm not going to dwell on it too much, it's factual, the result is logical.
It doesn't hurt to take a lesson.
I'm not annoyed, but I don't like to lose, that doesn't happen to me often. "
A defeat due to mental fatigue?
“We know the context, it's not today.
It happens, it's been a long time for us, it was not the right evening.
I make sure to understand everything, a lot of things… It's easy to say it, but of course there is not always a good performance every three or four days. "

Marcus Thuram's premiere
“I had no doubt that he was impressed.
It's not in his character.
He did good things, he could have scored on his header on the bar.
He provoked, created shifts, after it was more complicated after the break, with less space and more fatigue because he had played on Sunday.
For a first selection, he is doing well.
He combined well with Lucas Digne on his left side, especially in the first period, but his centers did not find a taker. "
